Can you cook spaghetti for 2, or boxed mac &amp; cheese with this?

Yes Spaghetti for two even 3. Haven't tried mac & cheese, but I did do egg noodles, they were okay not as good as spaghetti. I use mine all the time it's so easy to make more if you haven't made enough at first. So much easier than boiling and draining.

There is a recipe in their cookbook for one that uses a box mix. I haven't tried it yet.

Yes, this pot is well suited to cooking linguine or spaghetti for 2 or 3 people.

Well if you want to melt the cheese yes you can use it cuz you know you can put at pot in the bottom to boil water and then you put over the aluminion pot and with the heat produce by the pot with water you can melt the cheese for macaroni or any other food ok bye

The booklet comes with a list of different water amounts for each food, but if you didn't mind draining off any excess water at the end, I don't see why you couldn't. I haven't tried it yet myself, but I wouldn't think twice about giving it a go. I am assuming that you'll blend them all together - if you wanted to steam both apples and green beans for different dishes at the same time, that wouldn't really work.

Hi Mike, if you like the thin pasta for pizza it is ok, however this acessory is more apropriate for make pasta. Regards

We use it for blanching vegetables and don't cook pasta in the pot. I would guess that 3 4 lbs of pasta is what could be cooked at one time.

Yes but the 3 quart is too small to put a box of spaghetti in without breaking the pasta. Need the larger one if you do not want to break

Yes, you can. I cook spaghetti sauce all day using the mat. I cook the meat on a higher temp. and when I am ready to let it simmer, I put the mat on the burner and turn the burner to its lowest temperature. I only stir it a couple of times during the day. The mat prevents it from burning onto the bottom of the pot.

Nope- doesn't mix. Make pasta dough separately - you do the work! (but fun) --- then machine does great job of processing dough in to pasta-of-choice

Yes, it could work for cooking pasta. The holes might be a bit larger than some thin spaghetti, but it would still work pretty well.

I just mix it as if I were making the Kraft box directions with a little more cheese. Than mix it with what ever type of pasta as I might have.

Yes you can! You can also make cheese, raise bread, dry nuts, herbs, spices, even dry homemade pasta. It's great for making homemade dry soup mixes. It really is a wonderful machine. I am EXTREMELY happy with my purchase. Definitely worth the money! I did not buy the Paraflexx sheets, though. Parchment paper works just as good. I hope this helps answer your questions!

yes, I use it for mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, etc. A great stirring spoon while cooking too.

It's pretty small and the mesh is tight but the largest strainer could work depending on how much spaghetti you are draining. I would not try to use it for anything more than a couple of cups of pasta. I use mine for straining kefir.

Pasta for 2 is perfect. I tried to do more one time and it didn't do very well. Most success with angel hair pasta.
